　　為了成功訓練自己

　　Ever seen a great champion boxer like Manny Pacquiao? With his speed, agility and power, he has conquered lots of other great boxers of the twenty first century. In between fights, he keeps his training regime and intensifies it when another fight approaches.

　　你是否曾見過像曼尼•帕奎奧這樣偉大的拳擊手?擁有速度、力量和靈活性，他戰勝了21世紀許多偉大的拳擊手。在比賽間隔期，帕奎奧堅持訓練，並在比賽來臨前增加訓練強度。

　　Just like a boxer, we, too come face to face with many opponents in the arena of life—problems and difficulties. The bad news is, we don’t really know when our bouts with these opponents occur—no posters and promotional TV commercials; no pre-fight Press Conference and weigh in to make sure that we measure up to our opponent; and there is no Pay Per View coverage.

　　跟一個拳擊手一樣，我們在生活的大舞臺上會遇到很多對手——問題和困難。壞訊息是，我們不知道什麼時候將會與這些“拳擊對手”交手——沒有宣傳海報和電視促銷廣告，沒有賽前新聞釋出會和保證我們級別相當的體重測量，也沒有出場費。

　　Here are several reasons why you should train yourself for success like a champion boxer!

　　為什麼我們應該像一個拳擊冠軍那樣訓練自己?原因有以下幾點。

　　You don’t practice in the arena, that’s where your skills and your abilities are evaluated. This also means that you don’t practice solving problems and developing yourself when problems occur, you prepare yourself to face them long before you actually face them.

　　舞臺不是你練習技能的場所，而是評估你技能的地方。這也就意味著你不能在問題出現時才練習著解決問題、提升自己，你應在真正面對問題前就準備好。

　　Talent is good but training is even better. Back in college, one of my classmates in Political Science did not bring any textbook or notebook in our classes; he just listened and participated in discussions. What I didn’t understand was how he became a magna cum laude! Apparently, he was gifted with a great memory and analytical skills. In short, he was talented.

　　有天賦是件好事情，但是訓練更重要。還在大學時，我的一位學政治學同學上課時從不帶課本或者筆記，他只是聽課、參與討論。我所不能理解的是他如何成為一名優等生的!顯然，他被賜予了極好的記憶和分析能力，簡言之，他是個天才。

　　If you are talented, you probably need less preparation and training time in facing life’s challenges. But for people who are endowed with talent, training and learning becomes even important. Avoid the lazy person’s maxim: “If it isn’t broken, why fix it?” Why wait for your roof to leak in the rainy season when you can fix it right away.

　　如果擁有天賦，你可能需要較少的準備和訓練就能應對人生的挑戰。但是對天才而言，訓練和學習更加重要。拋棄懶人的格言"羊未丟,何須補"吧。既然你現在就能搞定，為什麼要等到下雨天讓屋漏雨呢?

　　Training enables you to gain intuition and reflexes. Malcolm Glad well, in his book Outliers, said those artists, athletes and anyone who wants to be successful, need 10,000 hours of practice to become really great. With constant practice and training, you hone your body, your mind and your heart and gain the intuition and reflexes of a champion. Same thing is true in life.

　　訓練能使你獲得直覺和反應力。馬爾科姆•格拉德威爾在他的書《Outliers》提到，藝術家、運動員或者任何想獲得成功的人，在變得真正優秀之前都需要練習10000小時。經過持續的練習和訓練，你的身體和心智得到磨練，你從而具備了冠軍的直覺和反應力。生活亦是如此。

　　Without training, you will mess up. Without training, you will not be able to anticipate how your enemy will hit you. You will trip at that hurdle. Your knees will buckle before you hit the marathon’s finish line. You will lose control of your race car after the first lap. With training, you lower the likelihood of these accidents

　　不經過訓練，你將會陷入困境。不經過訓練，你將無法預測你的敵人如何攻擊你，在障礙前跌倒，在衝過馬拉松終點線前筋疲力盡，剛跑完第一圈就對賽車失去控制。經過訓練，你將會降低這些意外發生的可能性，你將更強大、更有能力完成比賽。

　　Winners train. If you want to win, train yourself for it. You may be a lucky person and you can win a race, or overcome a problem at first try. But if you do not train, your victory may be like a one-time lottery win, which you cannot capitalize on over the long run. And you become fitter and more capable of finishing the race.

　　訓練者獲勝。如果你想贏，那麼為此訓練自己。你可能是個幸運兒，在第一次嘗試時就贏得了一場比賽或者解決了一個問題。但是如果你不訓練，你的勝利可能就像贏得了一次樂透彩，而這種運氣並不能供你長久利用。

　　Keep in mind that training is borne out of discipline and perseverance. Even if you encounter some setbacks in your training regime, if you keep at it and persevere, you will soon see results in your life and when problems come, you will be like the champion boxer who stands tall and fights until the final round is over and you’re proclaimed as the champion!

　　記住，訓練需要紀律和毅力。即使你在訓練時遇到了一些挫折，如果你努力堅持下去，你會很快看到結果——當生活問題來時，你會像拳擊冠軍那樣高聳的戰鬥到最後一輪，並被宣佈獲勝。

　　假如生活重頭再來

　　If I had my life to live over……I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. There would have been more“I love you”……more“I‘m sorry”……but mostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minute……look at it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.

　　假如生活從頭再來假如我能重新生活,我會說得更少，聽得更多。我會邀請朋友來吃飯，即使地毯變髒,沙發褪色。我會花時間聽我的祖父漫談他的年輕時光。我再也不會堅持在某個夏天的某一天車窗一定要開啟，而我的頭髮剛剛被噴膠並被做好。我會點燃雕得像朵玫瑰一樣的粉紅的蠟燭，在它被在儲存中融化之前。我會與我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用擔心草地上的汙漬。我會在看電視時哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是觀察生活。當我生病時,我會上床睡覺，而不是假裝如果我不在一天,地球就會停止不動。我再也不會購買任何據說是實用的,牢固的,保證可用一生的東西。我會說更多的“我愛你.”……更多的“對不起.”……可是，我被生活再次擊倒，我會抓住每一分鐘……看看它,實實在在地看它……好好生活……決不讓它重頭再來。

　　通往幸福的祕密

　　We all know that money can’t buy happiness … but many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich ***when we know the rich aren’t happy either***; we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we’ll have the good life.

　　我們都知道金錢買不來幸福，但我們都表現出如果我們的錢再多點就會更幸福的樣子。我們習慣於想要變的更有錢***當我們知道富人也並不快樂***;在電視看到些最新的玩意兒或是最潮的風格，我們也想要賺更多的錢因為那樣我們將會擁有更好的生活。

　　But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we have in the bank, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this.

　　但那些都不會帶給我們幸福。不管我們掙多少錢，不管我們在銀行擁有多少存款，不管我們的衣服汽車玩具有多好，它們都不會讓我們更快樂。令人難過的是在我們明白這一點之前，它會讓我們一直追求財富和奢侈品。

　　So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it’s three things that don’t cost a thing. These three things have been proven by research — surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.

　　那麼，究竟什麼能帶給我們幸福呢?幸運的是，有三樣東西，它們不需要花費其他任何。這三樣是被研究證明的——這項研究調查了數以十萬的人們，包括他們擁有什麼，他們的生活怎麼樣以及他們有多快樂。

　　Here they are, the Three Secrets to Happiness:

　　那麼，下面就是幸福的三個祕密：

　　1. Good relationships. We have a human need to be close, to be intimate, with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. Action steps: Take time, today, to spend time with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them, and develop your relationship with them.

　　1、良好的關係。我們同他人的親近、親密是人類的需求。擁有良好的、支援性的友誼、牢固的婚姻或是同家庭成員緊密有愛的關係會使我們更可能快樂。動作步驟：今天就花時間同你愛的人在一起，告訴他們他們之於你的意義，傾聽他們所說的，進一步發展同他們的關係。

　　2. Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives. Happy people feel empowered, in control of their lives, and have a positive outlook on life. Action steps: Make positive thinking a habit. In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Instead of “I can’t” think“I can”. It may sound corny, but it has worked for me, every time.

　　2、積極的思考。積極思考是達成你目標的最佳方式，我很顯然是這一想法的強烈支持者，但同時它也能指引你走向幸福。樂觀和自尊是快樂生活的人們的最佳寫照。快樂的人們感到充滿活力，能夠控制他們的生活，同時積極看待生活。動作步驟：把積極思考培養成習慣。事實上，這應該是你首先培養的習慣之一。養成粉碎你的負面想法並用積極的想法替代它們的習慣。用“我能”的想法替代“我不能”。儘管聽起來毫無新意，但對我來說每次都很奏效。

　　3. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days — the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us. We are so immersed in our task that we lose track of time. Having work and leisure that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when they’re passively mindless, but when they’re absorbed in a mindful challenge. Action steps: Find work that you’re passionate about. Seriously — this is an extremely important step. Find hobbies that you’re passionate about. Turn off the TV — this is the opposite of flow — and get outside and do something that truly engages you.

　　3、流動。這是最近網路上一個流行的概念——當我們全神貫注於眼前的工作和任務時我們進入的狀態。我們太過沉浸於我們的任務以至於沒了時間觀念。擁有工作和休閒會讓你出於流動的狀態，這幾乎毫無疑問會讓你幸福。當人們被動地沒有意識時不會找尋到巨大地愉悅感，這種感覺只有當他們專注於挑戰時才能獲得。動作步驟：找一份你熱愛地工作。這是至關重要地一步。在找一個你有興趣地愛好。關掉電視機***這是流動的反面***，走到戶外，進行些你能夠真正參與進去的活動。

　　You’ve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness. Don’t waste them!

　　你已經獲得了通往幸福的三個祕密，請不要浪費它們!
